Great Lawyer

Chapter 249 I'm So Bad (Part [-])

"Mother." In the deep night, Xiao Luobo lay in Du Jiuyan's arms, looking at her with his chin resting on his back, "I miss Uncle Silver Hand, when will I go to see him?"

Du Jiuyan said: "In a few days, we will finish this case."

"Isn't this case terrible? I heard about it today, saying that the auntie died very badly." Little Luobo said, "So, the girl is so beautiful, she must be protected."

Du Jiuyan knocked him on the head, "So after I was injured, you plan to cut off my hair to make me look ugly?"

"Yes. Fortunately, you have become smarter." Xiao Luobo looked at Du Jiuyan's face and said with a smile, "You are still very beautiful now."

Du Jiuyan didn't care about these things, pinching his son's face, "Who took you to the yamen tonight?"

"Sir sent me to the yamen, and he went home after he went in. Mother, let me tell you..." Xiao Luobo suppressed his voice, "Mr. doesn't want to enter the yamen."

Du Jiuyan hummed, and said, "Everyone has their own insistence and dislikes. It's just as long as the husband is happy."

Little Luobo nodded, "I am also very happy today. When my foster father took me running today, he asked me a question."

"Huh?" Du Jiuyan said.

Little Luobo replied: "Father-in-law said, have you met your mother? He also asked why you didn't get married."

"I said that I haven't met my mother. You have a deep affection for my mother, and you don't plan to get married." Little Luobo said.

Really curious, asking about everything, Du Jiuyan said: "What did he say?"

"He didn't say anything, and then ran faster." Little Luobo said, "It scared me to death."

Du Jiuyan smiled lightly, and covered him with the quilt, "Go to sleep, if you sleep too late, you won't grow tall, and then you can only be a carrot."

"Impossible!" Little Luobo said, "You and the prince are both tall, how can I be short?"

"Don't remind me of this, I'm trying to forget."

Little Carrot giggled.

Du Jiuyan turned off the lights, and the mother and son fell asleep.

On the second day, Du Jiuyan went to Biji grocery store again as scheduled.

King Gui was already there, he was staring at the door of the shop on the first floor, and the frog was rummaging through the cabinet.

"Come here." Hearing the footsteps, King Gui said without looking back, "Is there blood on this door?"

Du Jiuyan stepped forward to check, and sure enough, she saw a light pink imprint of three fingers on the top of the door. She made a gesture, looked at King Gui and said, "It's the left hand."

"We'll compare it when Lu Shouzheng comes." Du Jiuyan turned around and asked Frog, "Did the third master bring him out?"

Frog said: "I guess I'm going to the road mansion right now. There are many people on the road, and it's very crowded."

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows.

"Li Dong and Luo Qingmiao were parading through the streets in the morning, and happened to meet Lu Shouzheng, and the road was suddenly blocked. They lost egg and vegetable leaves all over the place. The brothers on duty today will definitely be angry. Qingmiao let out her anger."

Du Jiuyan forgot about Luo Qingmiao, "Then let's go and have a look together later."

There were many people on the street watching the fun, pointing at the grocery store. When King Gui entered the yard, someone called Du Jiuyan in a low voice, "Mr. Du, Lord Liu has become better again?"

"Yeah, I'm investigating the case myself." Du Jiuyan said.

Everyone sighed, each with a look of surprise, "One person's temperament can change so much."

Du Jiuyan smiled lightly and entered the yard.

Bi Jianxiong was sitting listlessly, and Mrs. Han was coaxing his son to sleep in the room. When he saw them coming in, Bi Jianxiong got up and said, "My lord, Mr. Du, I heard that someone has been arrested? Is it Lu Shou?"

"Before the case is finalized, everything is pending. All you have to do is cooperate with the investigation. If you talk nonsense, I will arrest you together."

Bi Jianxiong said: "My lord, that kid eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles, and has done all kinds of bad things. He must be right."

King Gui ignored him.

Du Jiuyan walked around the yard, stopped under the attic and looked up. King Gui came over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"My lord, if what Lu Shouzheng said is true, when did the second murderer come in?" Du Jiuyan was thoughtful.

King Gui said: "You mean, he was probably already there when Lu Shouzheng committed the crime?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Du Jiuyan said, "Let's go to the Lu family."

King Gui waved his hand, "I'll take a look at the scene again, you can go by yourself."

"Let's go." Du Jiuyan pulled him, "We'll check later, let's go to Jiao San first."

Gui Wang obediently was dragged by her arm to go out, he said with disgust: "It was you who proposed to revisit the scene, and now you want to watch the excitement again?"

"I want to confirm whether my guess just now is correct." Du Jiuyan said.

King Gui was puzzled, "Do you think the murderer is likely to come in with Lu Shouzheng, or he saw Lu Shouzheng coming in with his own eyes?"

"En." Du Jiuyan said.

Gui Wang frowned, "Explain, what do you say?"

"There's no explanation for this, it's pure intuition." Du Jiuyan said, and led him into the alley in front of Lu's house. Lu Miao was standing at the door, and saw her coming and waved, "Brother Jiu."

Du Jiuyan greeted her.

"Women only talk about intuition, you are really a sissy." King Gui snorted and stared at Lu Miao, unhappy.

Du Jiuyan didn't answer his words, and said to Lu Miao, "What are you doing here?"

"Look at the fun." Lu Miao said, "I heard that Lu Shou will be brought back to guide the way later. I'll wait for her here."

As she spoke, she brought out a basket from the door, a basket of rotten vegetable leaves and a few eggs.

"You are a hard-boiled egg." King Gui saw that Lu Miao was uncomfortable, "After killing someone, you are the one who paraded the streets."

Lu Miao was stunned, then laughed again and said, "Then, then I'll just throw the vegetable leaves."

While talking, Jiao San came over with Lu Shou, and almost a whole street of people were dragged behind them.

Lu Shouzheng was covered in dirt, with egg yolk on his head, Lu Miao laughed when she saw it, "Lu Shouzheng, you have today too!"

Lu Shouzheng was frightened, looked at Lu Miao with a pale face, and suddenly cried, "Sister, please save me, I'm afraid!"

"Ah?" Lu Miao's smile froze on her face.Ever since he could remember, Lu Shouzheng had never called her elder sister, and he had always been fearless, "You, you are so scared!"

Lu Shou was crying loudly, the boy's voice was like a drake's, which was particularly unpleasant.

Lu Miao gave him a disgusted look, and slammed the girl back, closing the door.

Lu Shou was crying even more fiercely.

"Shut up!" Jiao San yelled, "Turn around and talk about everything you remember about that time as you walk."

Lu Shou was wiping away the tears on his face, and walked back along the road, saying as he walked, "I went north, and it just wandered around like this, and there was no one on the road."

Lu Shouzheng walked north to Shao'an Street and entered the alley again. He said, "I was a little scared when I went to Chicken Feather Lane, so I ran a few steps and went back to Shao'an Street."

Chicken Feather Lane is close to the Liao Mansion, and the two brothers of the Liao family are both dead. Everyone thinks this place is gloomy, and dare not leave at night.

Lu Shou was heading north from the gate of the county government office, passing by the Yan Mansion, and the Dong'an Inn, and further on was the Red Mansion, the Deqing Mansion, and the alley where Fu Yu and his brother lived.

After all, the grocery store has to go forward three intersections.

"Hasn't anyone seen this way?" Du Jiuyan asked.

The curfew in Shaoyang is not strong. Although they are not allowed to go to the streets at night, if someone comes out, the Yamen will not care whether to arrest them.

The main thing is that once the efforts are made to arrest and manage people, the county government will have a lot of things to do, and there will be insufficient manpower.

Several county magistrates, including Fu Tao, turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, thinking it was time to save manpower.

"No." Lu Shouzheng said: "Since you got rid of the gambling house in Yuqian Village, Shaoyang has no place to gamble, and there are a lot fewer people coming out at night."

Du Jiuyan was thoughtful, and King Gui asked, "Are you doubting your intuition?"

"No doubt, I'm looking for evidence." After Du Jiuyan finished speaking, he stopped at Deqing Building, "Have you passed by Deqing Building?"

Lu Shouzheng nodded, "Of course, I walked from here. Oh, yes. It was very lively in Deqing Building at that time."

"What's the fun?" Du Jiuyan said, "Is someone drinking?"

Lu Shouzheng nodded, "Someone should be drinking, anyway, it's all men's voices, it's extremely noisy. You can ask Dong Deqing, he must remember those people leaving so late."

Dong Deqing came out with a vigilant face, seeing that they were working, he became enthusiastic and said with a smile: "My lord, Jiuyan, what can I do for you?"

King Gui waved, "Come here."

When Dong Deqing came over, King Gui asked: "Lu Shouzheng said that he passed by the gate of Deqing Building around Haishi the day before yesterday, and heard that it was very noisy inside. There were no guests there that day, and they didn't leave so late, what's the noise?"

"Middle of the night before yesterday?" Dong Deqing remembered, "Oh, a student from Qingshan Academy. It is said that someone went home to get married, and came back yesterday to invite students from the academy to have dinner with me."

"Opened three tables, spent 30 taels of silver, and went home after eating." Dong Deqing said: "It's not easy for me to do some business. I follow the back every day, and I am exhausted."

As he spoke, he glanced at Du Jiuyan and King Gui resentfully.

"It's only after midnight? There are three tables open, how many people are eating?" Du Jiuyan asked, "Did anyone leave early?"

Dong Deqing shook his head and said, "I was sitting on the first floor to settle accounts, and I didn't see anyone going out."

"You think about it with the man on duty that night." Du Jiuyan said: "If you think of it, let us know."

Dong Deqing nodded.

Everyone continued to walk forward until they finally stopped at the door of the grocery store. Lu Shouzheng didn't expect to see anyone else on the road, and said in a crying voice: "I... I just went in. I took six taels of silver and wanted to leave. Who knows that by accident, I thought of Bi Wei."

Lu Shouzheng regretted endlessly, "It's all to blame on that woman, she..." Before he finished speaking, Du Jiuyan slapped his head and twitched his head, "You blame others for everything, you just need to clean up."

Lu Shou was crying even more fiercely, "I, I don't know, it's such a big deal."
